the torch relay. deadlines for the elimination of syria's chemical weapons are set but fighting a country to take and destroy the toxic stockpile was proving far more challenging than expected. a warning for whistleblowers a u.s. hacker gets ten years behind bars after breaking into a private companies by database i revealed the white house was keeping an eye on human rights activists nationwide. japan won't back down on a promise to return all evacuees to homes near fukushima despite alarming radiation levels well outside the exclusion zone. is this close to the average level of the goes down in the chernobyl is known only with one exception the place where i'm at right now more than ten thousand people are currently living.

six pm in moscow i'm mad as a good to have you with us here on r t our top story this hour most of syria's toxic arsenal will have to be taken out of the country by the end of the year according to the newly adopted plan by the chemical weapons watchdog but the most pressing question where more than a thousand tons of highly poisonous materials will go remains unanswered so far it looks unlikely any country will volunteer as our middle east correspondent reports the organization for the poor have been of chemical weapons has laid out of the map for the removal and the destruction of syria's chemical weapons the problem though is that they were banking on albania to take from c.n.n. albania has since indicated that it will not be that this decision in this announcement by albania came as a shock to the united states and the european union not the union is seen as. a

very strong partner with a so-called unshakeable alliance to the waste it is also a very poor country but there were wide scale protests in albania with people saying that they refuse to allow the government to be party to taking in the weapons from syria now the problem is that only a norway also indicated that it would not allow these weapons to be brought to its shore no way however saying that it will send a ship that will help with transferring the weapons to wherever they are taken but this is the problem it's not yet clear where in fact they will be taken and the latest word from the united states is that it has other options on the table but no indication as to what these options are this is a very ambitious time frame that has been stated by the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons it says that by the end of march next year most of syria's chemical weapons will have been destroyed and that by the end of june all of them will have been destroyed but again it seems as if it's facing an uphill battle not least of all with the decision as to whether in fact to destroy these

weapons a little analyst chris bambery from the international socialist group says it should be the wealthy european countries who must now step up to help implement the ambitious plan. my understanding is that they will go to france and i think it's really the onus is on britain or france in terms of the western european powers to deal with this because as i say they do have chemical weapons a little we don't advertise the fact that britain and france have stockpiles of chemical weapons they do have the ability to do that the french and the british have the facilities were you can dismantle these things safely they have the expertise surely that's the better option has abided by this deal the west should really put its money where its mouth is here it's signed up to this deal it's sending ships in this case norwegian ships to deal with this but the norwegians claiming they don't have the expertise to dismantle it you can see why chemical weapons see the will not to take them in and i think it kind of smacks of resentment over the fact that really in the end this deal has come or. brokered

a deal. and no syria has abided by the agreements of it and i can't hear but feel there's a sort of resentment in european capitals that actually the deal has worked even if it doesn't host syria's chemical weapons they use becoming increasingly tangled in the conflict europeans spied choose warning of a rapid growth in the number of citizens going there to fight alongside the muslim opposition one reason official site for the surge of support are muslim europeans promoting jihad duty on social networks across the continent or he reports. i am french to french parents my parents are atheist and do you know subscribe to any religion. he guided me. nicola now calls himself. having found islam on the internet in two thousand and nine in this video he's urging muslims to join the fight in syria his younger brother john daniel was persuaded to join up too but he was later killed in aleppo.

it will save your soul from help. secure the. border and this is just one of many such videos online of young europeans calling their peers to arms french and western intelligence services have intensified their warnings and europeans heading to syria to fight nowadays they've noticed not all the extra rise in the number of individuals heading over there but also in the kind of people who are joining the fight they say that more and more they are more committed to the struggle and upon their return to europe there's still no clear cut way to do radicalize these individuals estimates with the number of european spotting in syria between five hundred and seven hundred most of whom are from the u.k. and france and france is the more newspaper quotes of french intelligence sources saying these levels surpassing even those seen for afghanistan.

many of the mainly joining the groups. in groups which nobody wants to are true i said to the global jihad rhetoric and the project sophisticated many of them will get back in europe much more radical for the french the memory of the terror attack by frenchman mohamed merah that killed seven people is still fresh fears of a repeat one radicalized young men returned to france most of those people all native french people. have all to again stand in pakistan we will not do arrest him. said he had been fighting again against an auto training's in the summer of germany's interior minister suggested a temporary ban on fighters returning home belgium on the other hand had been

working with turkish authorities to bring their nationals back by western europe have already been named but there still isn't a one size fits all solution in the e.u. sandy taylor chief says more could there be a difficulty with me. determining who's a potential threat and who isn't just there is still there r t paris thousands of people evacuated from their homes after the fukushima disaster may never be able to return and some a group of japanese officials who want the government to give up the pledge it will make those homes safe to live in again instead the government's decided to change the definition of safe ideally the radiation level should be one millisievert per year japan's government hopes to set an acceptable exposure level of twenty times that to be able to return the evacuees are back to homes near fukushima and some of the worst affected areas the radiation detectors show measurements around fifty times the recommended amount and that's half way to cancer causing levels or to use

a lexar show ski travel to the nuclear exclusion zone. it's hard to say what gives you a creepier feeling the trail of destruction left by the twenty eleven tsunami all the houses untouched by natural disaster but abandoned after the nuclear accident walking through the deserted streets of the fukushima exclusion zone we can see plenty of both technically we're now well within the goes on we're just ten kilometers from the nuclear power station these houses ravaged by the tsunami in twenty eleven still stand here nowhere near to being with stuart you'd be surprised to learn that radiation levels here are in fact lower than in some of the european cities and this prompted the decision by the japanese government to allow the people to return to their homes. but scientists say that suicidal because radiation migrates and because it exists in hot spots scattered all across the area. in the hot spots there is a huge amount of the red concentrated stored it is almost impossible to

find out all the hotspots. removed. from their houses we actually stumbled upon this process radiated material from personal belongings to contaminated soil is put in plastic bags and buried the radiation meter when even from a considerable distance imagine our surprise when we found similar levels in an area which had never been included in the no go zone. i've traveled through the church noble exclusion zone more than a dozen times and this was probably the scariest episode when we put a radiation meter on the ground in a layer of loss and it produced more than eight hundred micro wrongs per hour that is forty times more than the normal human radiation level here sixty kilometers took a shit when you clear parked along the readings are certainly less than that this is close to the average level of the goes down in the channel those zones only with one exception the place where i'm at right now more than ten thousand people are

currently living. mrs morey's ono is one of them she bought a radiation meter and now patrols the area looking for hot spots as we had after school classes for children at our house but had to close it because of high radiation. in her short life this girl has already got used to seeing a lot of radiation meters just like mrs morey's on or her mother joined an ngo group of ordinary women united by fear for the future of their children and distrust of the government's actions. we're sending our data to government and tepco officials every day and we get no reply don't see inaction from them as if they're trying to play down the scale of things meanwhile our children. are already suffering from fire. the voice of dissent is now intensifying despite assurances from tepco spent nuclear fuel rods are removed from reactor four at fukushima dai ichi. we have it under control it's a challenging process that we have the equipment to put it anti-nuclear protesters

in talk you say no one should be allowed back into the fukushima area until it's completely safe which in truth may not happen for centuries their peak has just eight hundred days and they will stay longer they say to force their government into rethinking its nuclear policies. reporting from japan focus here operators reading to remove the hauser to spent nuclear fuel from the crippled plant but it recently emerged that some of the rods had been damaged decades before the two thousand and eleven tsunami earthquake details on that and other developments in japan a click away at r.t. dot com. her expose the u.s. government's espionage and human rights groups has been sentenced to a decade behind bars jeremy have been found guilty of breaking into the computer systems of private intelligence firms strat for as well as law enforcement and government servers are going to reports. after two hour hearing in

a packed courtroom in the federal courthouse in lower manhattan twenty eight year old activist and hacker jeremy hammond was sentenced to one hundred twenty months behind bars he's going to spend the next decade in jail and march twenty twelve hammond was arrested for breaking into two hundred gigabytes of five million e-mails of information of private security firms stratfor and leaking this information to transparency organization leaks in these e-mails it was revealed that the private security firm was spying on human rights activists upon the request of corporation and the u.s. government earlier hamad had pled guilty to one count of the computer abuse and fraud act this was a classic case of whistleblowing where. criminal activity by a private corporation on behalf of both corporations and the government was exposed the government and the judge felt that the idea of causing mayhem or causing destruction was incompatible with that jeremy's stated political goals and.

we disagree with that and some of hammon supporters have dubbed him the robin hood of our times the defense team inside the courtroom argued that he fought for the better good trying to bring about real change to the system and shed more light on what the u.s. government was doing the prosecution however said that he stole the numbers of sixty thousand credit cards causing a damage of one to two point five million dollars to businesses and individuals if people who have influence and people whom here do not stand up and defend people like jeremy the judge said that he is not. a dell or dr king i was a civil rights activist germany's every much as a progressive human this as the spirit of those leaders as we said in the difference if we don't have jeremy hammond if we don't have had words snowden's if we don't have chelsea manning parent brown's we don't have a free press this sometimes comes on the heels of the n.s.a. scandal continuing the debate on what should and should not. be kept secret in the

u.s. and for how long the unprecedented war on whistleblowers will continue as well as the war on freedom of information and artsy. it is supporters claim everything was stage managed by the f.b.i. that manipulated him to carry out the attacks on government websites david seaman a us journalist who's been keeping tabs on the high tech story things the jailed activist was late every step of the way. he was approached by an f.b.i. informant this came out an article in wired magazine this f.b.i. informant is apparently the one who quote unquote cheer lead jeremy into hacking into this organization this f.b.i. informant also allegedly gave them a list of other targets that jeremy should go after and which he did not go after and when c. once he received the information he apparently downloaded it to an f.b.i. controlled server at the request of this f.b.i. informant so if this was basically an f.b.i.

operation they should have probably sent him a paycheck and sort of sending him to prison for the next ten years caught up in the u.s. surveillance network europeans seeing their ally in a different light shortly we hear from a former austrian chancellor on how washington's worldwide eavesdropping is diminishing trust among partners in eating away at the team spirit. and dismissed the drone as we report on growing anger among some americans of the use of the unmanned aircraft as their joint outside the white house by victims of the strikes that's all coming your way in a couple of minutes. if you. know opportunity. to construct your. only big. give don't want to be gangstas in

between the european union and the united states seems to have hit something of a rocky patch of late and that's why i've come here to vienna to meet with a former european leader and gauge his opinion on the current situation just how damaging has the n.s.a. spying scandal been for e.u. u.s. relations it effected the public perception more than in the perception among politicians everybody who's a professional politician knows that all countries are looking around for information and information is the fact that the currency in the political area arena but for the public perception was completely different because of the public perception especially in germany is america is our friend and you should never spy on your friend like what good america does skeet guy and we know that this

cannot happen and should not happen is it possible or even healthy for an idea of american exceptionalism to exist in the modern age i don't think that. someone is exceptional that of course some think they are exceptional but they are not everybody is exceptional or we are equals we are brothers and sisters and you can be larger or you can be more powerful economical or militarily but at the end we are no longer individual builds on the notion we are on the same ship and we have to steer this same ship we have to find common rules we have to fly and be clear cause for the future this is the important thing and exceptionalism this is a rather dangerous think is a little bit outdated by the way to a concept of the nineteenth century and the twenty first century i think we are equals better. abed continuing our look at police tactics when questioning vulnerable witnesses and for our u.k. viewers breaking the set stay with us.

president obama despite being king liberal loves to flatter the troops he loves their courage selflessness and teamwork as he said in his state of the union address but he doesn't love their expensive injuries which the troops are going to have to pay three times more for according to yahoo news the president's administration wants to force military retirees to get out of tri-care their current plan and added to obamacare the plan calls for them to raise premiums from up to ninety to three hundred forty five percent within five years one example provided by the free beacon estimates and a retired army colonel with a family currently paying four hundred sixty dollars a year for health care would have to pay around two thousand dollars making you pay even more for your war injuries apparently that's what obama is actually planning while he is reading those lovely speeches off of teleprompters people who are

against the post nine eleven war against who knows what are often told that they don't support the troops well to the people who say bring the troops home never advocate tripling their health care premiums no they don't all of the chicken hawks who send the troops off to die in questionable wars are the ones who want to make them pay even more for their injuries but that's just my opinion. margie dot com is launching a special project tomorrow. the appalling scale of violence in iraq. we want you to know.

if you are targeting only one scapegoat that would be responsible five with the say that you piggy banks the commercial banks then what about the non banks what about the highly leveraged institutions nora responsibles school what about the phones fights so what about all the special the high court so you see it's more jennifer that you know he banks are the main reason bad banking system is the main reason that triggered the banks. of the whole and the entire board as responsibility including the way us computed the account to the accounting rules of the of course also all the other rating agencies. of course you know the untied bank and non-banks and the naive belief

that we would you know were real there was other maddi self correction of the market themselves the theory of efficiency of markets was also a pawn of the spoils. the video might be shocking but it's simply a ploy used by u.s. police offices. filming with their own cameras they inform this woman called all the other the husbands just being killed they want to gauge her reactions as they suspect she may have caught a hitman to murder a spouse. her husband michael dell started telling them it's been killed. by. a camera. in fact no killing has taken place and the police have made up the story to try and

confuse dalia what they want is a confession and a few hours later she will be charged with attempted murder in this case it was the cross-examination of dalia that led to the truth and then eased the way to her prosecution. among the police the interrogation process is considered a key element of the investigation where everything might fall into place which explains why in the united states this method of investigation has been pushed to its very limits more than anywhere else in the world how does the interrogation take place is it an exact science can you tell when the saw specter is lying and can you trust the confessions. in the unite.
